[[This song is my dad's favorite lullaby, because my mom sang it to him when they
were dating. I don't know what key it's in originally, but I worked out suitable
chords for myself in key of D. I also like to play it with a 3/4 finger-picking
pattern of: p-i-m-a-m-i. I love its gentle prettiness. :) ]]

The whistle of a train.

That are callin', callin' me.
